Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I learned on a backtracker too, what a lesson in humility it was for about two years. I'd wait for a big breeze then spend all my time untangling the lines. Who knew you could tune and adjust those darn things? Now I can 3-D fly 'em.

A couple of weeks ago I gave my backtracker handles to Terry Murray 'cause he prefers 'em. I've lost some of my admiration for that fella too <LOL!!!>

Terry sure can make that 1.5 dance with them though. His style of flying is with quick, sharp inputs. If he used handles like your long titainium ones, he would be overcontrolling.

I still have a couple sets of those handles, one with lines and occaisionally fly with them. I am not practiced enough to fully utilize the extra length of handles like yours, but if you were to give them to me I promise I would learn to use them.

They are about the size of a Rev 2, but because they are "taller" they are more sensitive to control input. Quite tricky to fly for an "introductory" quad kite. This is probably why they went away and the EXP was introduced (speculation on my part).
